UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[EL MOHA]

I totally agree with you, I didn't expect Galatasaray to win and to win with that huge goal margin, I always thought the match would go on the under side of goals but they surprised us with a 7 goals thriller, even the former Bayern got a chance to score but Osimhen didn't show up in the score sheet, what a performance, is like this playoffs is going down in some unpredictable way as PSG Is already with a goal down.

I am not so surprised seeing that Juventus actually lost the game, they have been really poor of recent and that’s why I wasn’t so surprised with the outcome even though the scoreline was really an embarrassing one, i expected that the Juventus was even going to put up some fight after they went ahead when Koopminers scored two goals within the the first 35 minutes but actually squandering that lead and conceding four goals in the second half is seriously a summary of how poor they have been this season. This now four games without a win now for the old ladies, this is really not a good stats.

I wouldn’t rule out any outcome from a return leg because this is the champions league and it is a competition that is actually filled with many surprises, we have seen some teams over turn results like this in the past. Although it will be difficult for a team playing this way like Juventus is playing.

As for Osimhen not scoring I don’t see any problem there he cannot be scoring every game plus he provided two assist already in the game so that is actually a good game from him

[Abdulzuruku01]

What an unexpected turn of events, What Galatasaray has done… I had expected of they’re going to win it’ll be by a small margin but look at that 5:2 what a comeback comeback.
Football is a game of two halves: First was to Juventus and second was to Galatasaray who turned their fortunes by having one foot into the round up 16.

Now we await the next results; Benfica vs Real Madrid the highlight of the night, a lot banter is involved in this match.

Nice performance from Galatassary, I expected equal chances in this game although Galatassary is my favourite team that i wanted to win but honestly I never thought of this mergin, this look embarrassing. And with the kind of performance juventus pulled out in this game I don't think they will do anything special in the second league.

Benfica Vs Real Madrid match is ongoing and both team are participating well because there's pressure from both side but I hope to see Benfica to celebrate the victory in this match.

Monaco is leading PSG 2-1. Monaco first scored 2:0 but luckily PSG find their way to net one goal, but with the recent performance of PSG even if they qualify from this playoff I don't think they will go far in this champions league.

The results of the champions League playoffs games tonight in this first leg is turning out to be interesting Galatasary winning as big as 5:2 and going into the second leg with a three goal margin. While in the games that are currently going on PSG is losing to Monaco and Madrid is still struggling against Benfica at away these results were not expected especially the Galatasary results because Juventus is one side that is not used to conceeding plenty goals.

There’s a whole lot going on in this UEFA Champions League qualification matches, the drama that UCL never fails to deliver and the constant banter from all angles.

Galatasaray thrashing Juventus 5:2 what an incredible surprise, PSG losing to Monaco by 2:1 thanks to Desire Doue for a immediate impact, though there’s still an opportunity they might come back to take the lead.
Benfica really giving Real Madrid a run.

[Humblevirus]

Currently, a match between Monaco and PSG is going on, and Monaco is leading the match with two goals. I am just imagining what is going on at PSG because I don't understand how Monaco, who are struggling in Ligue 1, should be able to score two goals in the early minutes of the match against PSG, who seem to be the strongest team in the French Ligue 1. It is really surprising.

Before the match started, I was expecting that PSG might find the match easy to win, as Monaco are not currently in good form. The first half has not ended yet, but let’s see what will happen before the end of the first half. If PSG can't make it before halftime, maybe in the second half the match may change, and PSG may appear stronger, able to score and probably equalize the game.It does not make any sense that a team that won last season’s Champions League is even struggling in the playoffs after not being able to qualify at the top of the Champions League table.

[Hypnotizer]

Is this a dream or what because I never expected Juventus to come up with such an embarrassing performance tonight. The fact is that they are out of the competition because I don't see how they can score four goals in Italy.

It’s not a dream mate! You’ve just witnessed it, Juventus wouldn’t stop to disappoint us lately..they haven’t won any of their last four games now after this loss and for sure I also don’t think they’ll make it pass this playoff.

What an impressive performance from Galatasaray as they were able to cut a lot of gamblers bet who thought that Juventus is better than them. The second half was a game changer for them because they scored four goal to end the game 5-2.

Galatasaray really played good and they’ve got another additional advantage of playing against ten men since 67th minute and they’ve got two goals after that sealing the victory with five goals total! That’s really impressive..

For now the drama am waiting on will be the Real Madrid game because they are the ones on pressure and with the way the game is going it's still very open for anyone to win despite the fact that I was feeling that Real Madrid would have scored like maybe two goals in the first half seeing to the fact that they have already lost to benfica once. One would think that they would come into this game with so much pressure but I forgot Mourinho is the master mind behind that benfica team.

[aylabadia05]

Juventus just made qualification very hard for them. The next leg will be so difficult because Galatasaray will play defensively and count on counter attacks to score and make it a nightmare for Juventus.
I can't believe Juventus let Galatasaray win against them by such goals difference. What happened here is a collapse especially in the second half by Turin team. They have to score 3 goals to tie with them at least..

Spalletti will be the first person to be blamed for Juventus' defeat, which was leading 1-2 before Galatasaray made the final score 5-2.
5-2 is a big score that is difficult to forget every time these two teams meet again.
I was wrong again in this match because when Juventus was leading 1-2, I was sure that Juventus would have no trouble securing their place in the next round.

The reports I saw for Juventus players Kelly and Kalulu were very poor. Kelly and Kalulu, two defenders, showed poor performance.
Does this indicate that Juventus players don't want Spalletti to stay at Juventus for long?

[Odohu]

Congratulations to Galatasaray. They achieved a great success. Beating Juventus 5-2 will be an unforgettable day. Juve played very poorly in the second half and when they were reduced to 10 men with a red card they completely fell apart. They now have little chance of advancing. It would take a miracle, but they're not showing any signs of it.

I think even a miracle will not deliver Juventus this time around because the Galatasaray i saw tonight did not show any sign of weakness whatsoever.  I will not be surprised if they are able to get an away draw in the second leg and even if Juventus will win th3 match, the goal margin will not be more than 2 which still lands Juventus in elimination. Galatasaray have done what I never thought was possible because I saw Juventus as the favorite to advance to the next round.

Honestly it's not even the playstyle or gameplan that Is the fault of the PSG previous 2 goals disadvantage but it can be all blamed on that PSG's goalie, that guys performance has been terrible.

It's halftime now and the score is 2-2 with PSG equalizing the 2 goals disadvantage with the help of Doue's relentless attacking who was subbed on after Dembele seemed to have picked up an injury.

Gala winning that game did not surprise me. Anyone who has been paying attention to both teams knows that Juventus is struggling right now. What surprised me was the scoreline. I was even scared to bet over 2.5 in the game. I thought it would be a game that would be a 1-0 or 2-0 scoreline.
Juventus do not score many goals, but they also do not concede much, so conceding 5 was not something I saw coming.
I did not underrate Galatasaray. I have seen them play, and I knew they could get at least a point from this game. Lets see what they can do in the second leg.

A very important win for Galatasaray they did very well in the match and I never expected Galatasaray to win with that big goal margin they did very well and if they can continue with this kind of performance they will surely go far in the champions league competition, victor didn’t score today but he made two very important assist which is a very wonderful one.
Real Madrid are really having a tough time and they are missing a lot of opportunities to score goals which is not good at all, what they need is to score as much goals as they can so missing opportunities is something they should not be doing.

Galatasaray have done what I never thought was possible because I saw Juventus as the favorite to advance to the next round.

Am really surprised I didn't expect Galatasaray can succeed against Juventus so easily since from the first half they have destroyed Juventus already. With how Galatasaray are playing currently I don't think Juventus can get the opportunity to draw this game anymore because they are leading them with three goals differences and Galatasaray are playing at home that is why they are more stronger and challenge them.

Juventus can still have chance if they can try and add one goal or draw the game, since they are still second leg to play. they can probably succeed at home but if the goals is too much in this first leg he will be difficult for them to revenge in the next game. Let see how the second half will ends but in my opinion Galatasaray have achieved the victory already, but anything can still happen because football is always unpredictable they can shock us and end the game on a draw.

It is first half already and the game is 0-0, no goal yet in the first half. The early fist half favours Benfica and we can see how Curtois made some wonderful save. Madrid has not been pressing hard, till the late first half where Real Madrid show some chances created and some pressure was put on the Benfica side. Now I believe Real Madrid has gotten their momentum in this game, hope they find a way to have their goal, before Benfica finds one, because I believe anything that made Benfica to have a goal it will be difficult for Madrid to come back in this game, as we can see how the Benfica goalie has been so good in the goal post.

I was shocked when Monaco scored those goals, but PSG managed to equalised before the half time. But there's no denying that this PSG team is no longer in the shape they were last season when they won the champions league. They lost in their last league match against Rennes and today they fell behind before fighting back. Well let's see if they can build on the momentum that they have found in the first half and go ahead to win the match. It's just expected that PSG will win this match but their approach is just getting me annoyed.

[len01]

The first half is over and Madrid have been putting a lot more pressure on Benfica. Tactically, Madrid look way superior. They’ve pulled off a few really sharp moves, especially from players operating just outside the penalty box. Even though they haven’t managed to score yet, I’ve got a feeling Madrid will be the first to find the net in the second half.

If Benfica keep playing the same way they did in the first half, I’m pretty sure Madrid can edge this with a narrow win. And hey, Mourinho shouldn’t take it too hard if Benfica lose at home. Just call it a warm gesture of hospitality. After all, when you poke the king, don’t be surprised if he comes back stronger with a little extra flair.

It is really surprising.

PSG were 2-0 down in the first 20 minutes, but then they managed to turn things around in the next 20 minutes which made the first half end 2-2. PSG played aggressively and dominated the match, but they were not without mistakes that forced the players to work hard to avoid defeat. PSG cannot afford to lose this first leg, so they must bounce back in the second half and win this match to increase their chances of qualifying for the round of 16.

Away games are usually not easy to win considering the home advantage for the opponent, so PSG must be able to do something better and avoid many mistakes in defense. Conceding two goals in the first 20 minutes was certainly surprising, basically a bad sign for them, but fortunately PSG was able to reply to the two goals and ended the first half with a draw.

[Abdulzuruku01]

The results for Benfica Vs Real Madrid game in the first half ended with zero goals. It's an interesting game both team performed well in the first half but I think Real Madrid is in better side, but I still don't lose hope for Benfica because I believe in the final minutes to see the outcome of the match.

Monaco scored PSG 2 goals down but they relaxed which helped PSG to equalised, in my opinion it's a big mistake for Monaco for allowing PSG to have equal goals with them in this game. Because the chances they have to win isn't strong again PSG is the favorite to win this Match I'm confident about that.

The score is shocking and while it isn't really surprising Galatasaray won based on performance against top teams in the Champions League this season but still this is a qualifying game to remain in the Champions League next round and it shows how important it's and so the bigger teams ought to do better even if they weren't doing well at first.

Galatasaray isn't really consistent especially in UEFA competition but they did well tonight but let's see how the second leg goes.

Nice performance from Galatassary, I expected equal chances in this game although Galatassary is my favourite team that i wanted to win but honestly I never thought of this mergin, this look embarrassing. And with the kind of performance juventus pulled out in this game I don't think they will do anything special in the second league.

Galatasaray shock me tonight, seriously even as they were going to be playing at home, all expectations in this match was a draw. Because I can see that Liverpool is not that too weak to say Galatasaray will win them easily, but unfortunately what I didn’t expect have happened. 5 goals is crazy.

Liverpool need to do that, team like Liverpool shouldn’t be recording result like this, even the weak clubs in the champions league don’t really want to be scored with big margin, and a team like Liverpool is scored by Galatasaray with a good 5 goals while Liverpool only scored 2 goals is too poor, Liverpool should wake-up.
